I also have a good Santa story. One day my brother was playing with the big kids on the big kids playground and they started telling him there's no such thing as Santa. James argued with them but they said if he went home and asked his mother she would tell him the truth. So James went running home and up to Mom crying, "Mom! Is there a Santa Claus?" "Of course there is, sweetie!" Mom replied. So James ran back to big kids playground and announced, "you were wrong!"
I'm the youngest and it dawned on me gradually that Santa wasn't really bringing our toys. As a final test I left a note for Santa on Christmas Eve telling him that I was very sorry but that I forgot to ask for a Barbie Dream House. I knew I had been good so in the morning when the note was gone and there was no Barbie Dream House I felt my theory had been confirmed.
I just asked Jon Voigt to move outta way so I could get to the rest room.
Ha, I was watching him on my television last night (National Treasure).
Annabel on her trike
Dude, I've been in Minearverse too much, I was expecting to see a toddler on a picket line.
Me too.
Is is SO cold out there! My run went ok, except for the very small stretch of the path where it was a little slippery. Why that part of the path was trying to ice over and none of the rest of the path was at all icy I do not know. I was careful on that section. The rain didn't bother me, either, since it was mostly spitting. My rain shell was quite wet however!
Now I am home, frozen. I'm trying to warm up a little, then shower and off for yummy food!
I wasn't as fast today. Started strong, but wavered in the middle. I'm sure race day (next week!) will be way more fun, since I'll have other stuff to entertain me. I didn't run with music today, partly as practice for races and partly because I need a new MP3 player, and I'm sure that kept my motivation waning.
I love hearing about everyone's Christmas traditions!
So last night's Feminist Majority celebration was
amazing.
I can't believe I got to hear Gloria Steinem and Ellie Smeal speak! My heroes!!! There were a lot of other amazing speakers and celebrities, but Gloria and Ellie were the high points. They were gracious and funny and passionate and brilliant and so very dedicated to continuing to make a difference to the women of the world. I'm still a little breathless think about it. The night ended with a local girls' choir singing "I Am Woman." Wow.
On a Bitchly side note, Margaret Cho did a hysterical bit about her Hitachi Magic Wand. Kathy Najimy made my cry with laughter, too, but Cho did a Magic Wand sound impression and said, "Are you masturbating or sanding the floor?" Too funny.
ETA: Oh, and one of my favorite parts of Gloria's speech was when she described how Ms. magazine has been wanting to do a fold-out clitoral map (to show how much of the clitoris exists below the surface) for years.
Nothing all that great--just a lacy dress thing with a black top. Worked okay.
P-C, I was working the press junket for National Treasure 2, so it seems fitting you were watching NT1.
Ha! I really liked
National Treasure,
and now I want to see the sequel. It's fun stuff.
I just watched the trailer for
National Treasure 2
it's looks like a lot more wacky fun.
Holy shit!
I can lift my arm all the way up to shoulder level!
